board, oyeTules the school OF the

Since then he has been in constant

his profession as best be could ever
since, and recently, recurring to
tue final examination he easily passed
at the university, he found he was
unable without reference to the books
to answer one half of the questions.

Only mcagre accounts have yet come
to hand OF the complete ascent Of Kill
manjaro, the Hottest peak in Africa, by
DR.. \. Meyer Of Leipzig, in August last,
but there is no question Of the important
achievement. This great mountain was
discovered 10y the missionary Rebmann,
in 1913, and in the following year his
colleague, Nrapf. discovered its snow
covered companion, Kenia. In 1852
Wander Decken attempted to ascend
Kilimanjaro, but succeeded only
in reaching a height Of 14,000
feet. IN 1871 the Rev. Charles
New assembled as far as the snow line,
and in 1884 Mr.. II. Ii. Johnston reached
a height of 5000 feet. DR.. Meyer took
six days to reach the summit of the
crater OF Kibo. On the first day he
reached the forest limit, on the second
Johnston's camp on the third, passing
over extensive grass meadows, he attain
ed the snow line, and here, as usual,
his native companions deserted him.
On the fourth day, through broken
NJ blocks OF lava, Dr. Meyer reach
ed the foot OF the crater, and the
edge OF the crater itself on the fifth day.
THIS he found TO be Tricky 9laciated. rs
also the region which lies between kibo
and its lower companion summit, kima-
wezi. The sixth day DR.. Meyer spent
in taking photographs and max
ing collections around Kibo, and
he also spent several days lower down at
the snow limit for similar purpose. He
estimates the height OF the KIbo summit
at close on 10000 feet, considerably
higher than the estimates OF Dir. John
son. Dr.. Meyers detailed narrative Of
his journey will be looked for with in
tercst.

rne Medical Examining Board.

r. Hc Edjtor Of the Djspatch:
] observe communications in your
paper insisting that il shall be ntrusted
to board OF physicians to say whether
any one or all Of the graduates Of our
schools of medicine shall be allowed to
practice their profession III this State.
The statement itself shows the unrea-
sonableness of the proposition. The
schools Of medicine Mt the University of
Virginia, at Richmond, Va, Philadel-
phia, and other places, are not, in
the opinion OF this board, with
all OF the learned faculty certI-
fying TO the qualifications Of the
graduate. sufficient evidence OF the
fitness of the Young man but they,
this board, must iirst make each candi-
date pay a fee OF 8 for the privilege OF
being loteroGatcd 10y this board. a
writer in your paper Of the It'll instant,
signed W., calls upon all the VI. ID. = to
sustain this board, for, says he "when
you fall You break yourselves to pieces
never to arise" and all the quacks and
medical humhugs of the surrounding
States. &c will be "dumpcd into Nir-
giuia as Hour competitors. 10 your de-
timent, &c. Now, If the fear that other
States may lump into this State men
who are unfit to live here and practice,
why not require those only dumped in

Does the writer mean to contend in this
appeal 10 his brother doctors about their
dcfriment, &c, that he does not wish
gentlemen from other States to come in
competition with them? Is not our State
in need of more population and of more
doctors? This same writer SAYS the

had the right to expect very many were

A Bull Fight I'm Paris.

On the 18th of last month q bull fight
was exhibited at the ~Hippodrome. in the
presence OF an immense multitude filling
the seats Of the great hall. 1t is almost
the frat time in this generation that such
q spectacle has been exhibited in Paris.
The object was to aid the fund raised for
the sufferers from the foods in the south
OF France. The amount drawn was
5000 francs, and, ell expenses being paid,
there will remain 81. 600 francs to be paid
to the charitable fund. There was q great
cutlery raised against the in Introduction into

Objectionable game Is the Spanish one,
and that the Provencal and Gascon forms
OF the entertainment are harmless and

life. There were present q few persons
who went to protest by Kisses against the
display. They were. however. completely
lost in the crowd. and soon ceased to dis
turb the audience. Those in one group
who commenced by Kissing were fairly
carried away by the interest Of the fetei

A kSesCutDS farty from ane Mines.
Sixteen men went from the Dunderberg
mine on Monday evening TO rescue the
unfortunate Robert Young from the
snowlide. They left, taking lanterns and
shovels with them. At the Eureka Tun.
mel they we're joined by Abe Laird, who
then led the party. and Abe struck ont
for the 0regonian mine. The party was
atill further reinforced at the Alexandra
mine. These stout-hearted men climbed
over the summit Of Prospect Mountain
through the toughest storm OF the sea-
son. The trails we're all buried deep In
snow, and there was need OF tho utmost
vigilance on account OF the innumerable
shafts on the mountain.
During the descent on the west eide
one OF the party gave an alarm Of another
slide. They scrambled to get out OF tho
way, aud not long after an avalanche Of
snow went tumbling down the hill.
still another slide occurred later in
the evening. When the Oregonian mine
was reached there was no one In sight,
aud the men commenced to shovel towards
the cabins, which were found to be In
good order, but there was no one to point
Gus where to shovel for the buried man,
and so driving was the wind and snow
snas no further effort was made. Four OF
sne party returned, but the balance re-
NAMED, taking shelter In . mine tunnel
during the night, hardly daring to trust
70 the cabins. Yesterday morning they
esumed shoveling, but being without pro-
VISIONS all hands returned home.

An Old Man Thunderstruck.

SAN MIGUEL, Feb. 9.--On Friday morn
ing Mr.. Pland, who had q daughter stop
ping here with a son-in-law, who is in the
hotel business, heard that the girl was
going to elope with one Frank Frates. who
had been working on the construction
train, so he came to town to take her to
his ranch. which is situated about 40 miles
from here. Meanwhile Frates got wind OF
the affair. and at once vent to q livery
stable and hired a fast rig. He also bor-
rowed q revolver. and then followed the
tracks OF his adored and her father. When
he overlook them, with a pistol in hand,
he commanded a surrender, and the old
gentleman gave up his daughter without a
struggle. Frates then took the girl into
his own buggy and drove of. leaving the
old man thunderstruck. The couple
came back and remained in this vicinity
until yesterday. when they left for San

The Inyo Independents says: There 10
an Indian in Owens River valley who
takes very practical ideas Of things. A
physicisn was passing the camp where
this Indian lives; the Indian begged Of the
doctor to enter the wigwam and look at a
sick papoose; the doctor, who is q very
tender hearted man, entered. but saw at
once the child would die within o few
hours, or q day at fsrthest. The doctor
said he could do nothing for the little ONT,
but the Indian insisted that IL must have
some OF the "white mans medis." To
satisfy the anxious father the doctor pre-
pared q little simple medicine. told the
parents how to give 1t to the child and
came away. Next day the Indian called at
the doctors Office and said: "Papoose
dead. mabyso your medis help kill um;
you buy um box, make nm grave; you kill
UNI all same white man, put um in ground
ell same white man." The doctor declined
to bear the expense OF the funeral; but the
hint given by the Indian should not be
lost. As the Legislature is now in session
the life insurance companies might pro-
cure the passage OF a bill compelling all
doctors to pay the funeral expenses OF pa
tients who die while under their care.

Only Six or Eight Inches Under

A searching crowd Of miners and citi-

Of Robert Young, who was buried in q
snowslide on Prospect Mountain the day
previous. BY hard and diligent work his
body was found about noon, some 800 feet
from the place where it is supposed be was
struck by the slide. When found the
body was only six or eight inches under
the snow, and had the slide carried him u
few feet further down the mountain his
body would probably have come to the
surface. There were no marks or bruises
on his face, but on one side OF his body
there were bruises. The superstition il
that he was killed almost as soon AZ the
slide struck him, as he was 8 very muscu-
lar man, and il he had not been instantly
stunned he would have worked his way out
OF the The first thing his rescuers
found was his pipe. filled with tobacco
and which bis partner says he lighted i'm
medistely before leaving the cabin. The
finding Of his pipe gave the shovelers
fresh courage, and soon after they dis
covered his body.
